The Golden Book Award for October Goes to Janet!! Janet excels at her job as Circulation Specialist! She is always looking for ways to display our collection - to make our books more visible to members. She often has “ideas for arranging” to make our shelves more user friendly and easier to browse. She is great at Reader’s Advisory! We have people frequently saying they really enjoyed the book she suggested. She keeps us all on track with the routing of DVDs, CD Books and the New Books. Thank you, Janet ❣️
